Verse:
G                                     Em
We wrote our Dear John letters in the same pen
    Cadd9              D/F#            G
and before the ink was dry they were already stamped and sent
G                                Em
yours to West Berlin and mine to Kent
    Cadd9            D/F#            G
and they sat side by side until they went

G                                       Em
Your Sunday school script was packed in tight
Cadd9          D/F#           G
careful and considered in the faltering bathroom light
G                                         Em
mine in the spidery hand in which I still write
  Cadd9            D/F#      G
I thought of every line as a fuse ready to light

Chorus:
Cadd9                                G
They came back broken they came back bent
    Cadd9                                      G
and expected us to be what they thought they’d left
                            D (let ring)
and though we weren’t quite whole
                   C (let ring)
turned out we were all
                          G (back to verse)
each other needed to grow old

Verse:
G                                      Em
The thick skin on my back grew hard to cut
    Cadd9               D/F#                 G
I’m sure the words were sharp but they never stuck
G                              Em
we sat back pretty easy and we watched the decades bend
Cadd9                 D/F#              G
home, bus stop, shop, bus stop and home again

Chorus:
Cadd9                                G
They came back broken they came back bent
    Cadd9                                      G
and expected us to be what they thought they’d left
                            D (let ring)
and though we weren’t quite whole
                   C (let ring)
turned out we were all
                          G (back to verse)
each other needed to grow old

Verse:
G                                  Em
Now my stiff limbs jerk across the station concourse
Cadd9          D/F#          G
like a wind up toy forced to walk
G                                          Em
and you’ve been dead six years now but sometimes it feels like more
Cadd9       D/F#   G
and I am old, I am old
G                                       Em
you’ve been dead six years now but sometimes it feels like more
Cadd9       D/F#   G
and I am old, I am old
